After the man finished giving instructions, Sanniang walked to the bed. As if she had turned some mechanism, the bed moved away, revealing a stone door. The stone door opened with a bang.
Sanniang walked up to Yun Shang, took Yun Shang's hand and dragged Yun Shang into the stone door. Yun Shang knew that this time she was afraid that she would not be able to succeed, so she did not hesitate and followed Sanniang in.
After the secret door, the stone door closed again with a bang. Yun Shang was pulled by Sanniang, turned a few corners, and entered a stone room. There were torches around. Sanniang locked Yun Shang in the stone room and then went back to the stone room.
After leaving, the door of the stone room opened after a while, and then several servants walked in. They quickly set up a bathtub in the stone room, filled the bathtub with water, and prepared clean clothes.
, then retreated again.
"Girl, take a bath." Sanniang said softly, but there was a hint of wariness in her eyes.
Yun Shang knew that the previous incident with the fireflies had made her a little more wary of herself, but she nodded calmly, took off her clothes and walked into the tub. Sanniang waited on her to wash herself.
Her hair and body were waiting for her to put on new clothes. What was prepared for Yun Shang was a plain gauze skirt, which was very elegant and the gauze quality was excellent. Yun Shang touched the clothes with a smile.
Sanniang dried her hair, then pulled her out of the stone room and walked to the other side of the secret passage.
I don’t know how many turns I turned before I seemed to have reached the end. Sanniang looked at the stones next to the stone room, opened the door, and walked out, but she was in a bunch of rockeries, winding and twisting.
After walking around for a while, he got out of the rockery. The night was getting thick, and Yun Shang didn't know what was going on around him, so he just followed Sanniang and let her lead him to a room.
This time the room was much more exquisitely decorated than before, like a woman's boudoir, with a faint jasmine scent, purple bead curtains, and a red rosewood dressing table with a
Yun Shang opened several coffins and took a look at them. They contained hairpins, earrings, bracelets, etc. There was also a piano table with precious pianos placed on it. The screen was embroidered with a phoenix clad in peonies, which was elegant and luxurious.
"Girl, you must be tired after a long day. Let's take a rest early." Sanniang followed Yun Shang and saw her looking here and there. She didn't show any emotion on her face and just advised her softly.
Hearing this, Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'm really sleepy." After saying that, she walked to the bed, took off her shoes, and lay down on the bed, but she was thinking in her heart, I don't know what this room is like.
Is there any hidden secret?
As soon as she woke up, she could smell the morning breeze, faintly carrying the fragrance of lotus. Yun Shang sniffed it lightly, smiled and looked at Sanniang who was placing breakfast at the table, "Where did this lotus come from?"
Does it smell good?"
Sanniang glanced at Yun Shang and opened a window on the side, "There is a lotus pond in front of the house. Now is the time when the last lotus flowers are blooming. In a few days they will be gone."
Yun Shang stood up from the bed, walked to the window, lay down on her stomach, and looked out. As expected, she saw a small lotus pond outside. It was full of lotus leaves and lotus flowers blooming. It was really beautiful.
"Can I go out and take a look?" Yun Shang turned to Sanniang with a smile, with a bit of pleading in her eyes.
However, Sanniang seemed unmoved and responded in a low voice, "I have to ask the master first."
Sure enough, once bitten by a snake, he will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. Yun Shang said to himself in his heart, but also nodded, "Go and ask quickly, the lotus flowers outside are blooming just right, and I don't know if I want them again."
How long do I stay here? If I can't even leave this room, I'm afraid I'll get bored. Besides, you have prepared everything on me now, so I can't do anything you want to do."
Sanniang didn't even look at Yun Shang, but continued to respond, "Okay, miss, come over and have breakfast first. I'll go ask the master later."
Yun Shang nodded, walked to the table and sat down. Today's breakfast was lotus leaf porridge, which had a hint of lotus leaf fragrance. Yun Shang actually ate two bowls before putting down her chopsticks. After eating, Yun Shang
Then he sat down at the piano table and played randomly, making Sanniang frown frequently.
Sanniang packed up her things and went out. There was no one else waiting in the room, but Yun Shang knew that there were guards everywhere, so she didn't bother to check and continued to play with the precious piano in her hand.
After a while, Sanniang came back. Seeing that Yun Chang was still playing the piano, she frowned again, walked up to Yun Chang and whispered, "Master agreed, you can walk around in this yard as you like."
Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled and nodded, but she was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, she seemed to be very interested in the piano in her hand. After playing with it for a long time, her hands ached slightly before she stood up.
He sat on the soft couch and drank a cup of tea, then stood up and said, "Let's go, Sanniang, let's go for a walk together, we are both idle and boring."
After saying that, she walked towards the yard. Sanniang paused and followed her out the door. Yun Shang really just walked around the lotus pond in the yard and picked a lotus that was in perfect bloom.
When she got down, she asked Sanniang to find a vase, fill it with water and put it in the house. Sanniang followed her instructions and asked someone to find a glass vase, put lotus flowers in it and put it on the piano table.
Yun Shang didn't look like someone who was imprisoned. Instead, she happily asked Sanniang to move the soft couch to the shade of the tree beside the lotus pond. She lay on the soft couch with a cup of tea in her hand and dozed off.
Come on, I fell asleep after a while.
After all, the weather was quite cool today. There was no harsh sun, but there was a gentle breeze. Sanniang watched Yun Shang fall asleep, and went back to the house to bring a thin quilt to cover Yun Shang.
As soon as Yun Shang woke up, it was time to have lunch again. Since she had been sleeping not long after eating in the morning, she didn't feel hungry. After eating much, Yun Shang rubbed her belly and lay down on the soft couch.
I screamed and felt a little exhausted. I lay down for a while, then stood up and walked around the yard to eat.
Sanniang stood under the eaves and watched for a while before letting her go. Anyway, there were hidden guards everywhere in the courtyard, and since she had nothing on her body, she probably couldn't cause any trouble.
Yun Shang was just as Sanniang thought. She only walked around the yard three or four times before lying down on the soft couch and starting to sleep.
After eating and sleeping like this for a day, Yun Shang was still a little groggy when she got up early the next day. After eating, she sat down at the piano table again and started playing the guqin on the table.
But her eyes seemed to be fighting. Yun Shang flicked for a while and then stopped. She raised her eyes and looked at Sanniang and said, "Did you put some drug in my food? Why do I always feel that I have no strength in my body today and my head...
Are you feeling dizzy?"
Sanniang was stunned for a moment, then she made the bed and went to report it. After a while, a middle-aged man came in and said, "Girl, this is the doctor. Please extend your hand and let the doctor see."
Yun Shang yawned and stretched out his hand. The doctor took her pulse carefully and looked at Yun Shang's face before saying, "The girl probably just slept too much. There is a limit to everything. If it's too much,
It is not a good thing, and the same goes for sleeping. If a girl has nothing to do, she should walk around the courtyard more and try to sleep as little as possible during the day. Even if she takes a nap, it should not exceed an hour. "
Yun Shang sighed, "There is only a pond of lotus in this courtyard, what else can we do?"
The doctor was sent away by Sanniang. Yun Shang sighed and stood up from behind the piano table. Unexpectedly, he stood up too hard, and his body swayed again, almost falling to the ground. He hurriedly stood up.
He grabbed the piano table and reluctantly lay down on the piano table. However, he heard a "bang" and the glass vase with lotus placed on the piano table fell to the ground and broke.
Yun Shang was stunned and lowered his head to pick it up, but his hand was cut open by a fragment of glass.
"Be careful..." Sanniang, who had just entered the door, shouted quickly when she saw this. She quickly walked to Yun Shang and squatted down. Blood had begun to ooze from her scratched finger. Yun Shang quickly put the finger into her mouth.
After taking a sip, he took it out and said with a frown, "I just wanted to get up and walk around the yard, but my head suddenly turned dizzy and I dropped it. It's a pity that this glass vase is there."
Sanniang quickly took out a bottle of medicine from her waist and poured some powder on Yun Shang's wound. The wound stopped bleeding. Yun Shang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The fingers are connected to the heart. It hurts like this."
I’m not sleepy anymore.”
Sanniang glanced at Yun Shang, then brought a broom in and swept away the debris on the ground. Yun Shang looked at the piano on the piano table and sighed with regret, "Now I can't even play the piano."
, it’s really boring.”
After saying that, he stood up slowly, put his hands in his sleeves, walked out of the door, and walked towards the courtyard. After walking around the courtyard a few times, Yun Shang's complexion turned pale.
"The sun is quite strong today." Yun Shang muttered to herself, then walked to the soft couch under the shade of a tree and lay down for a while. Because the weather was really sultry, her face slowly recovered a bit of blush.
That night, there were no cicadas chirping or frogs chirping, and even the crickets seemed to have stopped. Yun Shang had a rare dreamless night and had a good sleep.
The next day, Yun Shang just took a walk in the courtyard and asked Sanniang to find some books to read, and then another day passed.
For several days in a row, Yun Shang remained calm, but her face became paler day by day. Sanniang looked at Yun Shang's face, hesitated for a long time, and then asked, "What's wrong with you, girl?"
Yun Shang smiled slightly and shook her head, "My health has not been very good since I was a child. I am afraid that the sunflower water is coming, so my complexion is a little not so good."
Yun Shang didn't go to the courtyard very often, just because the lotus flowers in the lotus pond had begun to wither, and even the lotus leaves had begun to wither and turn yellow, and there was nothing to see.
Sanniang frowned and looked at the remaining lotus in the pond and asked, "Why did the lotus wither so quickly this year?" (To be continued)
